Peril has always been loyal. First to Queen Scarlet, even when she used Peril’s fatal firescales to kill countless dragons in her violent SkyWing arena. Now Peril is loyal to Clay, the only dragonet who has ever been her friend. So when Scarlet threatens Jade Mountain Academy and everything Clay cares about, Peril sets off to find her former queen, stop her, and save the day, no matter what it takes.
But on the way, Peril is offered a chance at a completely new life, free of her firescales and the pain they’ve brought her. All she has to do is decide where her loyalty really belongs ... and whether her own scales might actually be worth saving.
The #1 New York Times best-selling Wings of Fire series comes to life in this eighth graphic novel edition, with art by Mike Holmes.

WINTER TURNING: THE GRAPHIC NOVEL (WINGS OF FIRE, BOOK SEVEN)
TUI T. SUTHERLAND
I was born July 31 in Caracas, Venezuela, and lived in Asuncion, Paraguay; Miami, Florida; and Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, before moving to New Jersey in high school, where I started doing theatre—mostly backstage work, because (a) it was fun, and (b) you got to hang out in the dark with cute boys. (Er, I mean ... because it was artistically fulfilling, yes.)
I graduated from Williams College in ’98 (go Ephs!) and I currently live in Boston with my husband, my two hilarious children, an alarmingly funny ever-increasing number of snails, and our fluffball who finds us all terribly boring, Rainbow Dog (we call him Bo for short).
I was very lucky to work for a while as an editor on the publishing side of things, where I dearly loved all the authors I worked with and their wonderful books. But if you met me, you’d know that mornings are VERY MUCH not my thing and office attire is not any of my other things, and really I am best suited for a job where I can write until 4am, sleep until noon, and work in my pyjamas (ideally with a puppy nearby). (Also, apparently I used too many smiley faces in my professional emails. Now I can use ALL THE SMILEY FACES I WANT mwa ha ha!)
Plus I had all these ideas bouncing around my head wanting to be written, so off I went to do that, and now I’ve written about 50 books for children and teens, ranging in age from sticker books and easy-to-reads to middle-grade and YA novels.
My current series is the #1 New York Times best-selling Wings of Fire series, a big epic dragon fantasy that’ll be at least fifteen books long, plus two related stand-alones and graphic novel adaptations ... it’s the most fun, and it’s definitely been keeping me busy!

The deadliest disease in the history of the world ... Elsie dreams of becoming a brave warrior like her father, who is an archer fighting in England’s war against France. But life isn’t fair in 1348 Europe. Peasant girls like Elsie can’t be archers or knights or anything exciting.
Then one day in the forest, Elsie and her best friend discover a chest filled with stolen treasures— and a dangerous secret. At last, Elsie has a chance to prove that she’s as brave as any knight.
Little does she know that a horrific deadly illness—the Black Death—has begun its attack on England. It’s already killed millions around the world. And now it’s come for Elsie.

In the middle of San Francisco Bay looms Alcatraz, home to America’s most infamous prisoners. Also home to Chip Carter and his dad, who works at the high-security prison. Their neighbours are former mobsters, gangsters, and murderers, but Chip finds it to be a pretty boring place to live. After all, the inmates can’t hurt him—they’re locked up in an impenetrable fortress, surrounded by unforgiving waters.
Or are they?
Inmate AZ1441, aka the Watcher, has a plan to break out of Alcatraz. It’s a genius plan he’s concocted along with three other inmates. Foolproof. Or so he thought until one of the guard’s kids stumbles into the middle of it. Chip is stunned. No one can break out of the Rock. Not unless they have an inside guy. Which it seems like they do ... Chip’s dad.

When Vietnamese American Freddie Lo finds herself in Vietnam for the first time since she was little, she’s not quite sure how to feel. The memories of her extended family are more like distant echoes; she has a tough time speaking Vietnamese; and she can’t help but feel like she just isn’t Vietnamese enough. Still, this is her chance to reconnect with her family, especially her Ong ngoai—or grandfather—who is receiving a big award. That’s when Ong ngoai reveals his secret: He knows the location of an ancient legendary crossbow, one with the power to decimate armies—and he’s hidden it away from those who intend to use its magic for evil. But when Ong ngoai is kidnapped, it’s up to Freddie, her cousin Lien, and a mysterious boy named Duy to get to the crossbow before it ends up in the wrong hands. In this Indiana Jones-style adventure, readers will travel through Vietnam—from its seaside villages, to the swamps of the Mekong Delta, to the majestic Marble Mountains of Da Nang—as Freddie learns what it takes to be a hero. SALES POINTS:

When Cal Ware wins a scholarship to an elite New England boarding school, he’s thrilled to leave his past behind. Back home in Mississippi, he was the poor, queer kid who never fit in. But at Essex Academy, he’ll be able to reinvent himself. Or so he hopes... But at Essex, Cal’s classmates only see his cheap clothes and old iPhone. They mock his accent, and can’t believe he’s never left the country, or heard of The Hamptons. Cal, at his breaking point, is about to give up and return to Mississippi when he learns about a secret society on campus—the key to becoming Essex royalty. Cal knows he’s not exactly secret society material, but to his surprise, he finds an unlikely champion in the handsome, charismatic, and slightly dangerous Luke Kim. As they get swept up in the mystery and glamour of the Rush process, Cal finds himself falling in love for the first time. But as the initiation rituals grow riskier—and increasingly nefarious—Cal must decide how far he’s willing to go, and how much of himself he’s willing to sacrifice, to save everything and everyone he cherishes most. Because nothing at Essex—not even Cal’s first love—is quite what it seems.
SALES POINTS:
• Dark Academia is a HOT genre but there’s currently very little queer rep.

• The perfect blend of aspirational escapism AND a take-down of class and privilege.
• Derek is super well-connected in the YA world and we’ll have lots of great blurbs from high profile authors.

Buddy Lewek has spent most of his life dreaming of escaping the slums of 1939 New York City. Counting pennies to survive, it doesn’t seem likely that Buddy’s dreams of becoming an artist will ever be realised, but that all changes when he meets Mr. Joey Drew, the eccentric owner of an animation studio. Mr. D takes Buddy under his wing as an apprentice and Buddy couldn’t be happier ... maybe, as Mr. D says, dreams do come true. But not everything at the studio is as picture-perfect as it seems ... Something is going bump at night in the studio, something that leaves behind trails of thick, dark ink. Buddy is determined to find out just what is tormenting the studio after-hours, even if it means tracking the trail to Mr. D himself.
